==Item Description==
 
Increases the Stabilization rating of your active Reactor. This block loses efficiency the closer it gets to the Active reactor.
 
Each Reactor size (level) has an optimal distance where the efficiency of your stabilization reaches a maximum value.
 
  
If your Stabilization is too low, you will have reduced power generation.

'''Reactor Stabilizers''' increase the stabilization rating of a [[Ship]] or [[Space Station]]'s active [[Reactor]]. Reactors above 10 blocks in size require a stabilization rating of 100% in order to produce full power.
The Reactor and its Chambers are also highly reactive unless you have 100% or more Stabilization.
 
Upon taking damage, your Reactor components will take additional damage from internal explosions.
 
  
It's advised to have more than 100% Stabilization to avoid taking extra damage when in combat.

==Usage==
Stabilizers exist solely to reduce the vulnerability of reactors by providing stability to a linked [[reactor]]. A large reactor without stabilizers is easily destroyed and is often not able to realize its true power generation potential even during standard operation.

Placing stabilizers on a ship or space station automatically connects them to the currently active reactor. Multiple ''groups'' of stabilizers can be built to improve the stability of a single reactor, so it is not necessary to place all stabilizers together, but the number of groups cannot exceed 20.
 
 
Stabilizers are affected by an effectiveness percentage that determines how much they contribute to a reactor's total stability. The reactor's total stability is not a direct function of this percentage, but rather a total of all the stabilizer blocks affecting it, based on their individual effectiveness percentage.
 
 
 
The effectiveness of an individual stabilizer block is highly dependent upon its distance from its reactor. Multiple ''groups'' of stabilizers can be built to improve the stability of a single reactor, so it is not necessary to place all stabilizers at a distance that gives them 100% effectiveness per block. It is also not necessary for a reactor to have 100% total stability.
 
  
Stabilizers are automatically connected to the reactor they support by stabilizer streams.

Since stabilizers are entirely useless without the reactor they support, it may be helpful to encapsulate a ships reactor with the stabilizers themselves as a last layer of defense.

Stabilizer streams appear automatically between [[stabilizer]] groups and the [[reactor]] they support. These streams are vulnerable to hostile fire, and a hit to a reactor stream may cause some power loss.

Reactor Stabilizers increase the stabilization rating of a Ship or Space Station's active Reactor. Reactors above 10 blocks in size require a stabilization rating of 100% in order to produce full power.

Usage

Placing stabilizers on a ship or space station automatically connects them to the currently active reactor. Multiple groups of stabilizers can be built to improve the stability of a single reactor, so it is not necessary to place all stabilizers together, but the number of groups cannot exceed 20.

Sacrificial Stabilizers

Since stabilizers are entirely useless without the reactor they support, it may be helpful to encapsulate a ships reactor with the stabilizers themselves as a last layer of defense. While this is a viable strategy, it is not a build requirement. The benefit of this method is that the durability of the stabilizer blocks themselves now also protect the reactor.
